Story
Lilo is a sweet, snuggly, and slightly shy girl with a playful spirit and a big heart. She’s a certified Velcro dog — happiest when she's by your side, following you from room to room with her signature gentle loyalty. Once you earn her trust, you’ll unlock her goofy side: expect zoomies when you get home from work and bouncing excitement when she wants to play. She even gives you the cutest “please play with me” eyes!After a couple days in her new foster home, she settled in really nicely and caught onto the routine quickly. She’s fully potty trained, sleeps through the night in her crate, and even free-roams responsibly when left alone. She is doing well with household manners, like knowing not to jump up, counter surf or steal food, and she is quickly learning the "sit" and “wait” commands. Lilo can be vocal, especially when there are unknown noises that startle her or make her nervous. For this reason, Lilo cannot live in a home with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).Lilo is polite with other dogs and has done well with both cats and kids in past homes. While she may bark a bit when meeting new people or dogs from afar, she’s quick to warm up and incredibly friendly once she feels safe. As a roommate though, Lilo would prefer to be the only dog or the only female dog. She prefers a calm introduction and a little patience — and in return, you’ll get a best friend for life.Lilo has a moderate-high energy level. A long walk or jog each day, or playing with another dog in the home would meet her needs nicely. She likes to play with toys if her humans are included too. If there is a fenced yard, we recommend at least four feet tall — Lilo can jump!Lilo can be a little anxious in new situations, so she will thrive with a family who has experience with positive reinforcement and redirection training methods, or demonstrate genuine willingness to learn these techniques. She’s smart, well-mannered, and eager to please — a perfect mix of cuddly companion and energetic playmate.If you are interested in Lilo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Story
BRITA is about 6 weeks old and we believe she is probably an Aussie/Shepherd cross who will be in the upper end of mid-sized when fully grown. Brita and her sister Yeti were dumped on a country road in a remote area when they were about 4 weeks old. A woman driving down the gravel road saw the pups and stopped (see picture). She gathered up the pups and took them to a nearby town and turned them into the police department. The police contacted PUP to care for and find them forever homes. Brita was in remarkably good condition. Although she had a few ticks, she was plump and she liked being handled and played with so she had been socialized in her previous home. She was vet checked on July 7 and weighed almost 7# and the vet pronounced her to be in good health. We are making a guess on breed. Virtually all dogs from the area have some German Shepherd, some husky, some herding dog and a dash of some small dog with 15-25 identifiable breeds in their DNA. We expect the same to be true for Brita. The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Brita is a bit more careful about being picked up than average. Since the window for socializing is wide open for the next 6 weeks, we expect her to make great progress, however, her adopters must be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog. Brita has been vet checked, vaccinated and de-wormed. She will need two additional puppy vaccinations plus rabies at the adopter’s expense. We do place puppies outside the metro area if a firm plan for the alter surgery is in place; we do not ship. Her required alter surgery is covered by the adoption fee if it is done at 6 months at the PUP clinic. We require that she be altered at 6 months. If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. If you elect to contact us via e-mail it may take several weeks for us to get back to you. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested. Puppy can be seen and selected now but can not go to her new home until July 26.

Story
These six adorable pups are a perfect blend of brains and bounce! Their mama is a gorgeous Australian Shepherd, but judging by their brindle coats, smooshy faces, and playful Boxer energy, we’re pretty sure Dad brought the Boxer party to the mix. These pups are full of personality—they love to play, pounce, and explore the world around them. When they’re not busy zooming around or tackling each other, they’re dishing out sweet kisses and snuggling up for cuddle time. With their striking brindle coloring and affectionate nature, these pups are ready to bring joy, love, and a little bit of mischief into their forever homes. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Nebula, a truly beautiful dog. While her past holds some hardship – she was found living on the streets with her seven puppies – her spirit shines through. Nebula is a sweet and beautiful girl, possessing a gentle nature that will blossom with the right amount of patience and understanding. Nebula's intelligence is evident in her quick grasp of commands. She's already house-trained and crate-trained, demonstrating a willingness to learn and adapt. She enjoys walks immensely, exhibiting a calm and easy-going temperament. What Nebula truly desires is a loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. While her street life has made her initially cautious around new people, once she builds trust, her playful puppy-like energy resurfaces. It's a beautiful transformation to witness. We believe Nebula would thrive in a quiet and patient home, ideally with someone experienced in working with dogs who have experienced trauma. With the right care, she'll become the most loyal and loving companion imaginable. If you're interested in learning more about Nebula and potentially offering her a loving forever home, please don't hesitate to contact us. $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.
